It arose from the cross ‘CDC Battleford’ / ‘AC Lacombe’ made in 1998. The F2 generation was grown at Lacombe in 1999, and the F3 was grown in El Centro, California during the winter of 1999-2000. The F4 to F7 generations were grown in bulk populations at Lacombe from 2000 to 2003. From the F7 bulk, 200 heads were selected to be grown as F8 head rows in 2004. From these head rows, the line H98082003 was selected to be grown in yield trials from 2005-11. In 2008, 200 heads were grown out from a bulk increase plot as individual rows. In 2010, H98082003 was tested as BT589 in the Western Six Row Barley Cooperative Test. Selection criteria included grain yield, test weight, 1000 kernel weight, lodging resistance, disease resistance, maturity and forage yield and quality. Tests and Trials: Tests and trials were conducted during the summers of 2012 and 2013 in Lacombe, Alberta. Plots consisted of 8 rows with a row spacing of 0.14 metres and a row length of 2.5 metres. There were 3 replicates. Measured characteristics were based on a minimum of 20 measurements each year.

The new variety was selected and tested at the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, in Vineland Station, Ontario. ‘V84031’ was selected for its early fruiting and its tendency to hang in the tree even after edible ripeness, which is condusive to staggered pickings. Tests and Trials: The trial for ‘V84031’ was conducted outdoors during the summer of 2013 at the Univeristy of Guelph, Vineland and Innovation Centre in Vineland Station, Ontario. The trial consisted of 3 trees of ‘V84031’, 6 trees of ‘Vandalay’ and 2 trees of ‘Viva’ all of which were planted in 1979. There were an additional 3 trees of ‘V84031’ in the trial which were planted in 1997. All trees were planted in rows 6 metres apart with 7 metres between rows.

The new variety was selected for disease tolerance, limited suckering and its use as a rootstock for sweet cherries to induce dwarfing of the tree and precocity in the scion. ‘GI 2091’ was first propagated by softwood cuttings in the early 1970’s in Giessen, Germany. Tests and Trials: The trial for ‘GI 2091’ was conducted in a field during the spring and summer of 2013 in Essex, Ontario. The trial included over 40 trees each of the candidate and reference variety. Threes were planted in rows with plants spaced approximately 1 metre apart. Trees were pruned annually as per commercial practices. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 trees of each variety on May 8, 2013 (for spring characteristics including flowers and young shoot) and July 2, 2013 (for leaf characteristics). All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.

TUBER EYE: shallow to medium depth, red at base TUBER SKIN: red Origin and Breeding: ‘AAC Alta Rose’ (experimental designations ‘CO00088’ and ‘AAC CV00088-3’) originated from a cross made at the San Luis Valley Research Farm of Colorado State University in the United States and was assigned to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Lethbridge Research Centre as per a reciprocal exchange agreement of unselected F1 seedlings. The cross was conducted in 2000 between the variety ‘Colorado Rose’ as the female parent and the variety ‘Dakota Rose’ as the male parent. In 2000, true potato seed was sown in a greenhouse at Colorado State University and the resulting seedling tubers were planted in 2001 at AAFC’s Vauxhall Research Substation in Alberta for selection. A clone designated ‘CV00088-3’ was selected in 2001, and progressed through 4-hill, 10-hill, and 50-hill generation stages of selection and evaluation during 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Selection criteria used in the field in Vauxhall and in the laboratory in Lethbridge included vine maturity, appearance, uniformity and shape of tubers, skin colour, incidence of tuber defects, culinary quality, and reaction to diseases including common scab, late blight, fusarium dry rot and verticillium wilt. From 2005 to 2009, this variety was evaluated in the Western Canadian Regional Trials and the National Potato Variety Trials and was released in 2010 as a result of the Accelerated Release program. Tests and Trials: The trial for ‘AAC Alta Rose’ was conducted in 2013 at the Potato Research Centre of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Fredericton, New Brunswick. There were 2 replicates. Each replicated 640 metres squared plot consisted of 60 plants grown in two rows with a row length of 7.5 metres and a row spacing of 0.9 metres between rows. Plants were spaced 0.25 metres apart. The measured characteristics were based on 10 measurements per variety. Mean differences were significant at the 5% probability level based on LSD values.

Origin and Breeding: ‘Black Pearl’ (experimental designation ‘BB-01-97’) was selected in 1997 as a mutated variant with a black seed coat in a commercial crop of the parental line ‘S00-66’ in Pembroke, Ontario. From 1998 to 2004, bulked populations were grown in Pembroke and plants were selected for a similar phenotype to the parental line. In each generation, seed was hand rogued and screened for a uniform black seed colour. From 2005 to 2008, small scale field increases were grown and each generation was assessed for morphological stability and uniformity as part of the mass selection criteria during the vegetative, reproductive and seed phases. Tests and Trials: Trials for ‘Black Pearl’ were conducted in Pembroke, Ontario during the 2011 and 2012 growing seasons. There were 2 replicates per variety consisting of 1 row, which measured approximately 25 metres long. Rows were spaced approximately 75 cm apart. There were a total of 720 plants per replicate. The measured characteristics were based on 20 measurements per variety. Comparison table for ‘Black Pearl’ ‘Black Pearl’

Following pre-registration testing across western Canada, LF1313 was evaluated as W454 in the Western Winter Wheat Cooperative Registration Trial from 2008 to 2010. Tests and Trials: Tests and trials were conducted in 2012 and 2013 in Lethbridge, Alberta. Plots consisted of 4 rows per plot with a row length of 3.5 metres and a row spacing of 23 cm. There were 4 replicates arranged in a RCB design. Measured characteristics were based on a minimum of 21 measurements per year. Comparison table for ‘Emerson’ ‘Emerson’

At booting, the frequency of plants with recurved flag leaves in ‘GP087’ is high whereas the frequency is low to medium in ‘McKenzie’. The flag leaf of ‘GP087’ is longer than that of ‘McKenzie’. The plants of ‘GP087’ are shorter than those of ‘McKenzie’. In cross section, the straw pith of ‘GP087’ is thin whereas it is medium in thickness in ‘McKenzie’. The lower glume of ‘GP087’ has a narrow to medium shoulder whereas the shoulder is broad in ‘McKenzie’. The lower glume of ‘GP087’ has a long beak that is slightly to moderately curved whereas the beak is short and straight in ‘McKenzie’. The kernel of ‘GP087’ has a broad elliptical shape whereas that of ‘McKenzie’ has an elliptical shape. The kernel brush hairs of ‘GP087’ are short whereas they are of medium length in ‘McKenzie’. Description: PLANT: hard red spring type, intermediate growth habit at the 5 to 9 tiller stage, matures mid-season SEEDLING (4 leaf stage): weak intensity of anthocyanin colouration of the coleoptile, glabrous sheath and blade of the lower leaves FLAG LEAF: high frequency of plants with recurved flag leaves, medium intensity of anthocyanin colouration of the auricles, medium glaucosity of the sheath, glabrous blade and sheath CULM NECK: absent to weak glaucosity, curvature present STRAW: thin pith in cross-section at maturity, no anthocyanin colouration SPIKE: absent to very weak glaucosity at heading, tapering shape in profile, medium to dense, inclined attitude and brown at maturity, sparse to medium hairiness of convex surface of apical rachis segment AWNS: brown, shorter than or equal in length to the length of the spike LOWER GLUME: medium to long, medium to wide, glabrous, sparse extent of internal hairs LOWER GLUME SHOULDER: narrow to medium width, straight to elevated shape LOWER GLUME BEAK: long, slightly to moderately curved LOWEST LEMMA: straight to very slightly curved beak KERNEL: dark red colour, medium size, short to medium length, medium width, broad elliptical shape, angular cheek shape, short length of brush hairs, medium to wide crease, medium depth of crease GERM: medium size, round to oval shape Origin and Breeding: ‘GP087’ (experimental designation ‘05S2024-10’) originated from the cross between ‘BW361’ and ‘Alsen’, made in Berthoud, Colorado, USA in 2005. In 2006, individual head selections were taken from an F2 population screened for height, maturity and disease resistance at the Syngenta Canada, Inc. breeding nursery in Rosebank, Manitoba. Single seed descent was used to advance these selections through F3 and F4 generations in the greenhouse and in the summer of 2007, F5 head-rows were individually bulked. In 2008, the individual bulks in the F6 generation were screened for agronomic performance and resistance to Leaf Rust, Leaf Disease Complex and Fusarium Head Blight and selected from nurseries in Rosebank and Souris, Manitoba. One of the bulk selections designated ‘05S2024-10’ was selected and tested in research plots in 2009. During the 2010 to 2012 growing seasons, ‘05S2024-10’ was tested as ‘GP087’ in the General Purpose Wheat Cooperative trials for agronomic performance, disease resistance and quality parameters. Tests and Trials: The trials for ‘GP087’ were conducted in Rosebank, Manitoba during the summers of 2012 and 2013. Plots consisted of 7 rows spaced 18 cm apart. The plot size was approximately 1.2 metres wide by 3.0 metres in length, containing 2400 plants per plot. There were 3 replications arranged in a RCB design. In 2012 and 2013, the measured characteristics were based on 20 measurements with the exception of 10 plant height measurements taken in 2012.
